In Caroline Miller's book, Creating Your Best Life, she discusses the connection between the level of one's happiness to the level of success in one's life. How happy are you? It is up to YOU!!!!
Where to start? Discover what makes you happy and gives you joy!
Scientific evidence has proven that participating in certain activities will naturally lift your mood. These activities include "things like kindness, exercise, and meditation" (Creating Your Best Life, page 241).
Your challenge...create your own unique list of activities that bring you JOY! You ask...then what? When you are in need of more joy you will know what activities will boost your mood and bring you JOY! Refer to your list, choose an activity and experience the JOY it brings.
Here are a few that are on my list....
1) Boxing
2) Reading something inspirational
3) Turning my music up really loud and dancing without anyone looking
4) Calling a friend and telling them how grateful I am that they are part of my life
I would love to hear about what brings you JOY!!!!!
Living in Joy,
Stacey

Love this post!
I love turning up music and dancing too! Sometimes I do it to get through cleaning my house because I *hate* cleaning and the music/dancing combination adds a little joy to the chore.
The other activity that brings me both joy and peace is vegetable gardening. I have extended this from backyard gardening to getting involved with a community garden. It's so much fun and so relaxing!
Thanks for sharing, Susan!!! The community garden also allows you to connect and give a bit of beautiful to others which supports other scientific evidence for boosting the mood.
